The property, Springwater, is on six acres amongst the tall trees and has two ponds served by a natural spring. We only have one campsite available at the very rear beside the forest so you will have complete privacy. There is an area of thick native forest and a stand of the critically endangered bush, the Round-leaf Pomaderris, right near the camping area. There is an abundance of birdlife at the camping location, including kookaburras, fairy wrens, greater shrike thrushes, robins, bellbirds, wedge-tail eagles, magpies and owls (namely boobooks). We are within easy reach of Toolangi State Forest with many walks and trails, including the WirraWilla Rainforest Walk and the Kalatha Giant Mountain Ash tree walk. This area is also popular for 4 wheel driving and there are plenty of tracks in the nearby state forest if you have the correct gear, vehicle and an appreciation for the wilderness. Healesville, Yarra Glen and Kinglake are equal distance away (18-20 minute drives) with services, plenty of cafes, restaurants, wineries and shopping: Healesville: Coles, IGA, Aldi Yarra Glen: IGA Kinglake: Foodworks Relax around the fire in the evenings (out of the fire danger season) and enjoy some great star gazing.

Springwater Forest Camp

Not worth

Got carried away by pictures .. the place is totally not worth $150+ for a night. When booking I hired boat and fire woods which is a joke. The pond shown in pictures is very small and muddy and not accessible at all . Not sure why they have boat there . Instead of fire wood they placed kindles there which can be fired for 30 min max. The host messaged that he will be there to invite us ..forget about physical presence, I tried calling him multiple times but no response..

Springwater Forest Camp

Adam’s campsite is very beautiful and organised. There were so many beautiful birds in the trees and the spot was mostly sheltered from the wind.

Springwater Forest Camp

Quaint little spot,

Nice little spot. Not entirely secluded, and get very muddy with rain about. Nice property to walk around, and great little spring pond. Shame the wood that was supplied was wet. You would have to bring a lot of wood yourself in the wet weather.

Springwater Forest Camp

Private spot on a large block with toilet, water and bin accessible. Very handy if you can’t / don’t carry these things. Couple tiny homes nearby but not close enough to be intrusive. Felt safe and close to main road for easy access to local attractions and nearby Healesville. Would return.

Good Spot

Adam's property was exactly as advertised. I great little spot not far from the city. I enjoyed my time there. Just an FYI - the property is under a flight path so lots of jets went overhead when I stayed there
